Re: baby oil in hair?

PerfumeGoddess, I often wonder if your questions are for real or you are just having a laugh. But just in case, no I never heard of such thing. Baby oil is mineral oil and I can't imagine what good it can do to your hair in terms of either appearance or health. There are natural oils that you can apply on your hair, hot or cold, as a treatment and then wash off: coconut, jojoba or olive oil, shea butter and probably many others. If you have very dry hair and you want it to look less dry there are many products that you can use: leave-in conditioners, anti-frizz serums, shine gels, nourishing sprays, probably small quantities of the above mentioned oils (I never tried though), etc.

Re: baby oil in hair?

Hi PerfumeGoddess,
I treat my hair with coconut oil I buy from the health food store (I heat it up for 30 sec in the microwave first). I apply to my wet hair and leave for a couple of hours and then wash out. It leaves my hair super soft and shiny and smelling great. You can also use extra virgin olive oil as a hair treatment same way. Heat up and apply, wrap hair in plastic saran wrap for an hour or 2 and shampoo out. In the winter when my hair is extra dry I plan on doing this once a week if possible to keep my hair soft and shiny. Hope you find a treatment that works for you!

Re: baby oil in hair?

Agreed re. baby oil and the mineral oil factor. I've never been a fan of baby oil. Best bet is coconut oil - the type that is odor less and treatments as suggested above.
I use serums for shine and moisturising effects. A good one is by Redken with Macadamia Nut Oil which is non greasy but gives shine and any serum from Keratase.

Re: baby oil in hair?

ok guys! Thanks a lot. I am hesitant to use any other oil on my hair so i thought to start off with baby oil as it might be a lighter version of those tough oils
well i guess i am going to get coconut oil because of the fragrance

Don't worry. I use this every week and my hair is very fine and it doesn't weigh it down or anything. It just makes it nice and shiny and soft. Heat it up in the microwave, comb through your hair and leave on for an hour or 2. You can put on a conditioning cap that you can buy at many drugstores while you are treating your hair. Alternatively you can wrap with saran wrap. Very easy.
Good luck!
